I got T (the), O (of), F (Fair), and H (Hill). Can't get W... Whacko?

True story some may remember-- Michael made the decision whether to run Da Hoss once by having girlfriend Joan walk the course in high heels. Guess he couldn't fit into them himself.

One of the many things we argued about was whether DH could run his race on anything other than a firm course. Michael said he could not, and my pointing out the best race of the horse's life to date had come on less than firm turf in the Pennsylvania Gov Cup fell on deaf ears. If it had rained another 15 minutes that day at Woodbine Michael would have taken him out (for real), and I think he only ran him as it was because it was the BC, and the Prestons were there.

Great trainer, tough to deal with.
